Well this luxury is given to every mother of the world. All what is important is priority. Unfortunately some people have less prioritize their children.

Not every parents wants to just \"throw\" their kids at cc for an easy life. When you have no one to look after your baby because you have to work, you have no choice.

With the current situation, many families are unable to survive on a single income.

You think that it is wise to scrape through each month without savings on a single income so that the mum can stay home to look after the kids?

What happens when there is an emergency? How are you going to pay the bills if your kids fall sick and needs to be hospitalised?

Every family have their unique challenges, some have the luxury to have one parent stay at home some don't.

Thanks

I am not really worried about her adapting to the environment, just concerned about her feeding habits. she’s very sociable and we had brought her along to the CC during the enrollment. Can see that she likes the place.

Thanks Dora, will let my wife know.

Thanks SAHM_TAN,


I have already informed the supervisor about the situation. She says that the teachers will feed my girl till she is able to feed herself, but my girl will need to drink her milk on the own with any help.

Thanks Dora for your input. It makes me feel better to know that things are not all that bad. Today lunch is the first time for my girl to try rice, hopefully she likes the food and don't get constipated due to solid food.

Thanks for the advice.


My mum will be going for her trip on 3rd May. My girl will be starting childcare on 2nd May. I guess I will just have to try to convince my mum to change her method and let my wife try to get my girl used to adult food.

Yes I agree with you, my mum is the main person looking after her. And my mum pampers her alot. Therefore my girl is quite reliant on her for many things. Plus my girl does not speak coherent words that’s meaningful. Haiz…


My wife just left her job recently so I had told her to get our girl into the childcare’s routine, but she’s not too good with that. Plus with my mum around its kinda difficult for my wife to do things the CC way. I foresee more fights coming up in the next week before my mum leaves for her trip.

And also my girl doesn’t really chew her food, and it causes her to puke out her food if it triggers her gag reflex. Is there anyway we can get her to chew her food properly?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,


Need some advice here.
I am in the process of getting my 19mth old girl in a PCF childcare.
But after getting to know abit about their routine, I am worried about the type of food that they are going to feed my baby.

They are serving mainly solid food at the childcare, but my girl rarely eats solid food. Even if she eats solid food its usually mashed up before feeding her. Furthermore the childcare lets the toddlers self feed their only serving of milk. But my girl do not really drink the milk herself, she is usually more interested in playing with the milk than drinking it.

I am worried that she might go hungry. Is it a good idea to let her go to the childcare and hope that she picks up the skills fast enough so that she wont go hungry for too long?

What can I do to make things easier for her?

Hi everyone,


I need recommendations for good childcare center for my baby girl. Preferably cost less than 400 after subsidy. Best if its around Jurong East St21. Have tried PCF at Blk233 but no vacancy at the moment. I would like to enrol my baby into the childcare as soon as possible as my parents (who are currently taking care of her now) are going overseas for a couple of months. My wife might dropby the PCF childcare at Blk 264 at street 24 tomorrow, meanwhile I hope someone can give some recommendations to good childcare in this area.

Thanks in advance.
